Abstract

The study examined the effectiveness of the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system in the implementation of public development projects at Mbozi District Council. Specifically, it assessed the current M&E system adopted, identified factors influencing its effectiveness, and established the effect of the existing M&E system on project implementation. The study employed a quantitative approach. Data were collected from 133 stakeholders, including project managers, M&E officers, local government officials, project implementers, and beneficiaries using structured questionnaires. Data were analysed using frequency distribution tables and descriptive statistics in SPSS version 26. The study found that the M&E system is moderately structured, with well-defined roles and consistent monitoring activities. Key factors influencing effectiveness included staff expertise, technological capacity, and stakeholder involvement. The study concluded that an effective M&E system enhances resource management, operational efficiency, and project alignment with objectives, but requires modernization and improved integration into decision-making processes. Recommendations included adopting digital tools and real-time dashboards, providing technical training for staff, strengthening feedback mechanisms within project teams, and enhancing stakeholder participation to promote accountability and sustainable project outcomes. Keywords: Monitoring and Evaluation, Public Development Projects, Effectiveness, Stakeholder Involvement, Technological Capacity.
